NU Boston engineered Pseudomonas putida to degrade naphthalene, a common PAH, down to safe, natural byproducts. Our solution includes stress-tolerance engineering, alginate bead delivery, and a salicylate-activated biological kill switch for safe environmental release. Additionally, specialized soil chambers and a predictive web app support testing and deployment targeting.
